YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: The national council of ethnic Armenians in Hungary plans to file a legal claim against Hungarian government for the decision to transfer Azeri murderer Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan. The head of the council Sevan Sarkisian  noted that the charges include abuse of power and bribery. Armenpress reports referring to international non-political daily Blikk.  There are an estimated 3,500 to 30,000 ethnic Armenians living in Hungary, notes the daily.

Armenia suspended diplomatic relations with Hungary on August 31 when life-sentenced perpetrator Ramil Safarov was extradited and pardoned in Azerbaijani. Safarov hacked to death Armenian serviceman Gurgen Margaryan during NATO’s training in Budapest. Azerbaijan has deceived Hungary and broken its written promise to keep the murderer in prison after Safarov’s extradition to Azerbaijan.
